Venus

This is my first ever decent image of Venus.
I used 800 x 600 pixel sensor size, binned 1 x 1, at a frame rate of 30 fps, with a red filter. (I also tried a higher pixel size, but the frame rate was low and Registax wouldn't show anything sensible)
I took  1000 frames then used Registax to align and process the best 200.

Venus


No signs of anything on the disc, but from what I have read I would need a special filter to pick up clouds, plus a higher magnification via, e.g .a Powermate. I have a barlow but it is a junk one and does more harm than good photographically.
